The Taliban have denied their involvement in the attacks.
At least three rockets hit areas close to the Afghan presidential palace in Kabul on Tuesday morning, AP reported. Visuals of the incident showed President Ashraf Ghani and many others offering prayers for the festival of Eid-ul-Adha even as a blast could be heard in the background. There were no injuries and the rockets landed outside the heavily fortified palace grounds, said Mirwais Stanikzai, a spokesperson of the country’s interior ministry. The police said that a car that was parked nearby was used as a launching pad for the rockets.
